“…The current classification encompasses three species: the Pink footed Goose, the Taiga Bean Goose (three subspecies) and the Tundra Bean Goose (two sub species). However, based on analyses of the mitochondrial control region, Ruokonen et al (2008) identified three distinct lineages: the Pink footed Goose, the Middendorff's Goose (currently a sub species of Taiga Bean Goose), and the Bean Goose (currently split in Taiga and Tundra Bean Goose). We report a sister species rela tion between Pink footed Goose and Tundra Bean Goose.…”

“…Although there have been several studies delving into the phylogeography of particular goose species (Humphries et al, 2009;Jonker et al, 2013;Paxinos et al, 2002;Quinn, 1992;Ruokonen et al, 2005Ruokonen et al, , 2008Scribner et al, 2003;Volkovsky et al, 2013), the phylogenetic relationships between most species remained unclear. Until now, species level phylogenies were based either on morphology (Livezey, 1996), or mitochondrial markers (Donne Gousse et al, 2002;Gonzalez et al, 2009;Lee et al, 2008;Ruokonen et al, 2000).…”

a b s t r a c tPhylogenetic incongruence can be caused by analytical shortcomings or can be the result of biological processes, such as hybridization, incomplete lineage sorting and gene duplication. Differentiation between these causes of incongruence is essential to unravel complex speciation and diversification events. The phylogeny of the True Geese (tribe Anserini, Anatidae, Anseriformes) was, until now, con tentious, i.e., the phylogenetic relationships and the timing of divergence between the different goose species could not be fully resolved. We sequenced nineteen goose genomes (representing seventeen spe cies of which three subspecies of the Brent Goose, Branta bernicla) and used an exon based phylogenomic approach (41,736 exons, representing 5887 genes) to unravel the evolutionary history of this bird group. We thereby provide general guidance on the combination of whole genome evolutionary analyses and analytical tools for such cases where previous attempts to resolve the phylogenetic history of several taxa could not be unravelled. Identical topologies were obtained using either a concatenation (based upon an alignment of 6,630,626 base pairs) or a coalescent based consensus method. Two major lineages, corre sponding to the genera Anser and Branta, were strongly supported. Within the Branta lineage, the White cheeked Geese form a well supported sub lineage that is sister to the Red breasted Goose (Branta ruficol lis). In addition, two main clades of Anser species could be identified, the White Geese and the Grey Geese. The results from the consensus method suggest that the diversification of the genus Anser is heavily influ enced by rapid speciation and by hybridization, which may explain the failure of previous studies to resolve the phylogenetic relationships within this genus. The majority of speciation events took place in the late Pliocene and early Pleistocene (between 4 and 2 million years ago), conceivably driven by a global cooling trend that led to the establishment of a circumpolar tundra belt and the emergence of tem perate grasslands. Our approach will be a fruitful strategy for resolving many other complex evolutionary histories at the level of genera, species, and subspecies.

“…De las dos aves, uno es de "pico pequeño" y el otro de "pico grande", de los que recuerdan a Anser fabalis fabalis. Al parecer estas diferencias morfológi-cas no tienen relación con la edad sino que se especula con una posible variación geográfica (Ruokonen et al, 2008).…”

“…The Bean Geese Anser fabalis occurring in Western Europe are either of the Taiga A. f. fabalis or the Tundra A. f. rossicus subspecies (Madsen et al 1999, Ruokonen et al 2008, Fox et al 2010. These subspecies are difficult to distinguish in the field (Heinicke 2004, Heinicke et al 2005, and, particularly in regions where one of them is rare among large numbers of the other, the rare subspecies is commonly overlooked.…”

Abstract. Based on 1420 neck-band reports we could map the movements of Tundra Bean Geese marked in northern Scandinavia. With few exceptions, the maps show a distinct migration pattern through Sweden to the main wintering area in NE Scania. In mild winters, only a few individuals extend their migration into continental Europe, but during severe winters, a large proportion of the sightings are from Germany and Denmark.
